MIGRATORY BIRDS CONVENTION ACT, 1994

Notice of intent

Notice is hereby given that the Department of the Environment intends to recommend to the Governor in Council that amendments be made to the Migratory Birds Regulations, pursuant to section 12 of the Migratory Birds Convention Act, 1994.

The purpose of these amendments to Schedule I to the Regulations is to amend hunting season dates for 2010–2011 as well as the number of migratory game birds that may be taken or possessed during those dates. The Regulations are modified on an annual basis in response to changes in the status of migratory game bird populations.

Canadian hunting regulations for migratory game birds are reviewed annually by Environment Canada, with input from the provinces and territories and a range of other interested stakeholders. The Canadian Wildlife Service produces three reports as part of its formalized annual consultation process. The first report, issued in December and titled Population Status of Migratory Game Birds in Canada, contains population and other biological information on migratory game birds, thus providing the scientific basis for management. The second report, issued in January and titled Proposals to Amend the Canadian Migratory Birds Regulations, outlines the proposed changes to the annual hunting regulations as well as other proposed amendments to the Migratory Birds Regulations. These two reports are distributed to organizations and individuals with an interest in migratory game bird conservation in order to provide them with an opportunity for input to the development of hunting regulations in Canada. The third report, Migratory Game Bird Hunting Regulations in Canada, issued in September, summarizes the hunting regulations for the upcoming hunting season.

ANNEX

Summary of the Assessment Report on Three Aluminum Salts — Aluminum Chloride, Aluminum Nitrate and Aluminum Sulphate

The three aluminum salts, aluminum chloride, aluminum nitrate and aluminum sulphate, were included on the Priority Substances List under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 in order to assess the potential environmental and human health risks posed by exposure to aluminum derived from these three salts in Canada.

In December 2000, the assessment of the three aluminum salts was formally suspended due to limitations in the available data for assessing health effects. At the same time, a State of the Science report on the three aluminum salts was released, providing an in-depth review of toxicity and exposure information relating to human health and the environment. During the suspension period, additional health effects information was published in the scientific literature and is considered here.

In Canada, municipal water treatment facilities are the major users of aluminum chloride and aluminum sulphate, accounting for 78% of the estimated 16.1 kilotonnes of the 2006 domestic consumption. Industrial water and wastewater treatment, and use in the pulp and paper industry, account for an additional 20%. Aluminum sulphate and aluminum chloride are also used as ingredients in drugs and cosmetics, such as antiperspirants and topical creams. Aluminum sulphate is permitted as a food additive in a limited number of products. Aluminum nitrate, used in far less quantities than sulphate and chloride salts, may be used in fertilizers, and as a chemical reagent in various industries.

Aluminum salts occur naturally in small quantities in restricted geological environments and aluminum can be released into the Canadian environment from these natural sources. However, since aluminum is present in relatively large amounts in most rocks, dominantly in aluminosilicate minerals, which weather and slowly release aluminum to the surface environment, the small amounts of aluminum in surface waters resulting from weathering of aluminum salts such as aluminum sulphate cannot be distinguished from other natural aluminum releases.

During their use in water treatment, aluminum salts react rapidly, producing dissolved and solid forms of aluminum with some release of these to Canadian surface waters. The amount of anthropogenic aluminum released nationally is small compared with estimated natural aluminum releases; however, anthropogenic releases can dominate locally near strong point sources. Most direct release into surface waters of aluminum derived from the use of aluminum salts in water treatment processes originates from drinking water treatment plants. However, direct releases of process waters from drinking water treatment plants are regulated by many provincial and territorial authorities, and these releases typically occur in circumneutral water, where the solubility of aluminum is minimal. Disposal of sludge produced by municipal and industrial water treatment facilities on land through landfarming practices is a source of aluminum to the terrestrial environment. However, the presence of dissolved organic matter and inorganic chelating agents will lower the amount of bioavailable aluminum in both terrestrial and aquatic environments.

While extensive recent data on total aluminum concentrations in Canadian surface waters are available, few data exist on levels in areas close to sites where releases occur. The situation for sediment and soil is similar, in that data exist for the Canadian environment in general, but not for areas where releases occur. A large number of environmental toxicity data are available for acidified environments, but relatively few exist for circumneutral environments similar to those where most releases occur.

Based on a comparison of highest measured and estimated aluminum levels present in both aquatic and terrestrial environments in Canada that receive direct inputs of aluminum from the use of the three aluminum salts, and the predicted no-effect concentrations derived from experimental data for aquatic and terrestrial biota, it is considered that, in general, it is unlikely that organisms are exposed to harmful levels of aluminum resulting from the use of aluminum salts in Canada. However, it is acknowledged that under some release conditions, there is potential for local impacts to benthic organisms related to the settling of aluminum sludge from drinking water treatment plants onto the sediment surface. As such, it is concluded that the three aluminum salts (i.e. aluminum chloride, aluminum nitrate, aluminum sulphate) are not entering the environment in a quantity or concentration or under conditions that have or may have an immediate or long-term harmful effect on the environment or its biological diversity.

With respect to human health, both epidemiological and experimental animal data were reviewed. Considering experimental animal studies, the dose at which neurotoxic, reproductive, and developmental effects have been repeatedly observed was used to establish an exposure level of concern.

General population exposure to total aluminum was quantified. With respect to the three salts — aluminum chloride, aluminum nitrate, and aluminum sulphate — their contribution to total aluminum exposure can only be qualitatively estimated. However, the only media in which the mean concentration may be significantly affected by the use of these salts is drinking water, in which aluminum sulphate or aluminum chloride may be added during the treatment process. As a surrogate for quantitative exposure estimation, it was assumed that all aluminum in drinking water is derived from aluminum chloride and aluminum sulphate. Comparison of the exposure level of concern to the age group with the highest average daily intake of total aluminum from drinking water results in a margin of exposure that is considered adequate.

Based on the information available for human health and the environment, it is concluded that the three aluminum salts, aluminum chloride, aluminum nitrate, and aluminum sulphate, are not entering the environment in a quantity or concentration or under conditions that have or may have an immediate or long-term harmful effect on the environment or on its biological diversity or that constitute or may constitute a danger to the environment on which life depends. It is also concluded that aluminum from aluminum chloride, aluminum nitrate and aluminum sulphate is not entering the environment in a quantity or concentration or under conditions that constitute or may constitute a danger in Canada to human life or health.

Conclusion

Based on the information available, it is concluded that aluminum chloride, aluminum nitrate and aluminum sulphate do not meet any of the criteria set out in section 64 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999.

The final Priority Substances List Assessment Report for the three aluminum salts is available on the Government of Canada’s Chemical Substances Web site (www.chemicalsubstances.gc.ca).
